Ink-tober Days: Shyin' Away

The prompt 'behind' this one is "shy".

.....Oh, I guess I should say a bit more, eh? Well.... this is definitely not too far off from the way I was when I was about Sheldon's size. In fact, I think every kidlet goes through something like this. Even if it's not as a visible shy-ness, every child relied on their parent for protection in some way. In the best of cases, that reliance will lessen, but never completely fade. For example, give it a couple hours and Sheldon will come out from behind his Mother's dress. But if he ever needs her, Linda is still always there for him, like any good mother. And she's always lovingly encouraging him to explore the world beyond the radius of her dress once again.

Wow, that turned into like, some kinda metaphor for life! Too bad nobody ever reads these things. Don't be afraid to venture beyond the dress radius, and keep on, keepin' on!

   

Ink-tober Days: Divided, we "Fall"

Heehee. Get it?

Anyhow, story-time. I was invited to participate in the 2017 Inktober initiative. Which means that not only will I actually be posting a bit more (oops), but also that for the month, I will be just posting the inked image. Absolutely no digital editing this month. It also should be noted that I only intend to do a half-marathon, as the kids call it. The idea is that every other day you'll get something from me based of one of the two prompts from the two days. Just enough to push me, and still give me room to tend to my life duties. Hopefully I can keep up. But even more-so important, here's hoping my talents and abilities broaden (as we can all benefit from that!). But if not, I have a feeling at least I'll get some joy out of this. 

That being said, today's drawing is a nice start, hey? With a prompt like "Divided" and a brain like mine..... well, you get the "picture". In my expert opinion, childish bickering seems to be the root of all contention, and one of the biggest ways to cause a divide between anyone. Family, co-workers, the best of friends, even. And to passers-by, it can look a little silly, ridiculous, confusing and just sad. Like, I'm not even sure who broke the shovel here, guys. Did that start the fight, or was it the "breaking point"?

Oh yeah, one last thing. I don't think you've met Kimberly yet. See the little girl with the adorable tongue? Yeah, that's her. Promise she's not always this immature. In fact, I was quite surprised to see her behaving this way, myself. She does like to see things go her way though, but who doesn't? I guarantee as time goes on we'll see some of her better days.

Alright guys; stay strong, and keep on keepin' on!

Happy (Belated) Mother's Day!

Oops. The one time sensitive week, and I botch it up. Don't worry, my Mom knows I love her, Even though I couldn't tell her over the internet, I got to see her face to face.
Anyway, with Mother's day being this week, I figured it best to combine it into my Fight Darkness challenge, to keep a steady flow, even if it was a day late. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Hey, at least I'm still on course in the challenge, though.
So, if you haven't already, remember to show your love for the women who've made you who you are today!

"Good tidings of great joy"

Nothing gets the Christmas Spirit flowing quite like a Nativity re-enactment. Am I right? Yeah, I am.

What better way to remember that a Savior is born? 

Personally, I'm surprised that the angel outfits last as long as they do before getting stained. I guess all that dreaming of a white Christmas helps... 

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all the peoples (and all the Creechers too!) And we'll see you in 2016!

Hallo, Halloween!

Here's something you might recognize.... of course, you might not too. It depends how long you've been keeping up with the going's on going on with these guys.

Allow me to explain. This picture is from last Halloween, just a couple months before I decided to start this blog, so those of you who weren't aware of us before then wouldn't recognize this picture. I did however, post it to my face book last October, and that's how some of you may recognize it. No worries if this is your first time seeing it, we understand completely. 

Either way, it's Halloween once again, so now I can post this to here as a patriotic retro post, and not have it weirdly out of place, like it would have been at any other point throughout the almost year this blog's been around.

It's Autumn!

 It's that time of year again! Breathe in that fall air! The weather has made a turn to chilly, the leaves are abandoning their roots (pun intended), and pumpkins are showing up everywhere. This beautiful season calls for a drawing! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaf-ing.

You may notice this

Yeah, I changed the look of the blog. Nothing major, it's just a little more personalized, with a 'Brady-bunch'-esque drawing filling up the background, similar to this one:

All of the characters you see before you have made previous appearances in my drawings. Excluding one..... and a half. Not all have previously appeared on my Blog though, but this is to change that.  

Horsin' around with Daddy

A Dad is a great thing. Like, a really great thing. A fantastic thing. You and I both know why. They help you figure out how to hold the hammer right, how to tie a tie, they check out those creepy noises at night,"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families." (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)

Long time, no posts

Why hello!

It's been a long time since I posted anything because I've been too busy making up an excuse for my absence. So, here is a trip down memory lane. Partially because I don't have much else to offer in this actually quite busy time, but also, one of the teacher's at my high school is retiring, and when I first made this, it was because several teachers at my previous high school were retiring, and this was my goodbye to them.

So in light of recent events, I felt it necessary to shake the dust off this piece. By the way, I promise more is coming. 

First post!!!

Hello, and Welcome to my Blog for my artwork. No matter what brought you here I hope you enjoy yourself and have fun, like I did making the things I post. For my first post, here's a simple group shot of the main attraction, The Creecher's.
